THE TIMES. ISSUED EVERY AFTERNOON, At No. 5 Drayton St., opp. P. O. Haslam & Co., - - Publishers. Wm. M. Sneed, - - Manager. SAVANNAH, GA., APRIL 30, 1881. Tfte Tinies mid Telephone Exchange. The Times office is connected with the wires of the Savannah Telephone Exchange, which will prove of much con venience to patrons in sending adver tisements, ordefs for printing, etc. The office will be open for business from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m., and we will be under many obligations if our friends will notify us of any items of interest that may occur in their neighborhood. News and adver tisements received until o’clock. Mr. C. J. Smith is authorized to collect and receipt for any accounts due this office, also to contract for advertisements. NOTIFY VS. We would beg as a special favor that any of our readers who do not receive The Times daily, would notify us, either in person or by postal card, of such neglect on the part of the carriers. Church Directory. Every Saturday we will publish notices of Sunday services at different churches, and request Ministers or others interest ed to furnish the necessary information not later than 10 a. m. It is rumored that Admiral Porter again has the Navy Department under his thumb. In the death of the Hon. M. P. O’Connor of Charleston, that city lost one of her most worthy citizens, and the South one of her strongest champions. J. H. McVicker, the fother-in-law of Edwin Booth, sailed for Europe on the 27th. Mrs. Booth is so ill that she cannot be brought to Ameri ca, and hence her father goes to England. Mr. Whitelaw Reid editor of the New York Tribune was married to Miss Elizabeth Mills, a Fifth Avenue belle on last Tuesday evening. Mr. Eugene K ellwand wife were among? the distinguished Quests. The handsomest dress of the sea son is described briefly but truly as a satin skirt surrounded by a profu sion of lace, which twines about a graceful form as airily as her leafy robe embowered the Grecian Dian. Mr. Wadley paid this week into the Farmers Loan and Savings CoajfcMjy, of New York, the deposit of 81,000,000 named in the feirfe of the Georgia Road to “Wadley and associates.” Mr. McKee Rankin had a quarrel with the manager of the Grand Opera House in Toronto last Tuesday night, words brought on a fight, and Mr. Rankin was hauled up before a police magistrate and fined 810 and costs. New York now has a new’ enter prise. A working girls’ cheap dinner house at 704 Broadw’ay, under the supervision of Miss Amelia Lewis, where the working girls can get a nice dinner for ten cents. That is quite cheap, yet even that is a big price for a New York working girl to pay for a meal when we consider the beggarly wages they are paid by “Merchant Princes” for their labor. The working girls and boys of New’ York are to-day worse slaves than you could find in any Southern com munity even during the days of slavery. Passengers By Steamship Gate City from New York. Col.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Theatre was crowded last night to its utmost capacity, a very large assem blage attended the Masonic Bazar and Fair. A number of chances have already been taken in the raffle for the ele gant quilt which ornaments the fancy table of the Zerubbabel Lodge de partment. It seems appropriate that Masons should endeavor to win this article, especially as it is very em blematical in its design. Thirty-five members of Palestine Commandry No. 7, K. T., visited Exhibition Hall last night in full uni form, and the treasury of the Fair was considerably augmented by the expenditures liberally made by the gentlemen at the refreshment and other tables. The trio of dark Bramhas at the Fair will probably be raffled on Monday night. Up to this morning all but eleven chances had been taken. The rooster is the prettiest specimen of his breed in this portion of the country. Those w'ho wish a chance in the raffle for the pure bred white Pekin ducks at the Fair will be on hand when the list is being made up early the coming w’eek. — Church, Directory.

By referring to the advertisement of Mr. Wm. M. Davidson which will be found on our third page, it will be seen that that old established and reliable house has just received a large addition to his usual good stock of foreign and domestic wines and liquors. The recent invoices are composed more particularly of chqjce champagnes ."'clarets, cordials, &c., suitable for the ensuing season. Capt. Davidson’s reputation for keep ing pure wines and liquors needs no recommendation in this city, or State, fw his claim to that distinc tion was earned many years ago, hence we need only call attention to his advertisement which contains in formation that would tempt the palate of even a temperance society. Hymenial. On Thursday afternoon quite a good number of friends assembled at St. Matthews’ Mission Chapel to witness the marriage ceremony of Mr. Slater of England, to Miss Roxie Forehand of our city. At half-past six o’clock precisely, the organ announced the arrival of the bride and groom and their attend ants Mr. Joseph Forehand and Miss Mary Myers, who advanced to the chancel and stood bepeath a beauti ful bow'er of roses from which was suspended a horseshoe composed of white rosebuds. The impressive marriage ceremony of the church was read by the Rev. J. B. Kennard, after which amid the joyful peals of the old chapel bell, and the many good wishes of their friends, the happy couple proceeded to their residence where they held a recep tion during the evening.

[communication.] Savannah, April 29, 1881. Afr. Editor: Among the very many graves that were decorated Memorial Day at Laurel Grove Cemetery, I noticed that the resting place of John D. Carter, who in life was beloved by? all who knew him in timately, was not neglected. Loving hands placed upon his grave flowery testimonials, tokens of esteem. Al though he did ftot fall on the field of the. Tate war, Fe wMdistmguisned for his bravery. He was a ’member of the gallant 10th Georgia Battalion, Wright’s Georgia Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia, and surrendered with the* immortal Lee at Appomat-’’ 'tax. He was born in Virginia, June sth, 1845, and died in this city with the yellow fever, September 19th, 1876. He came amongst but his genial manner, his brightdn tellect, his sterling worth, his un wavering friendship and gentlenfen ly deportment soon attracted friends. When the terrible scourage of 1876 fell upon our city, John D. Carter, with a true, noble spirit, volunteered to remain and discharge the Chris tian duty of charity. In the faithful discharge of this Godly work he fell a victim, “an honored name inTnem ory’s book.’ A Friend. Governor Long, of Massachusetts, in-his reply to Wendell Phillips’ pro test against the execution of Stearns K. Abbott,claims for himself as much humanity as Mr. Phillips aspires to, and after referring to the overwhelm ing evidence against the man, tells him he knows 6r ought to know that as the law' now stands he has no more power, with the council opposed, to pardon or commute than Mr. Phil lips has. 13,000 CHOICE VIRGINIA WHITE CORN!
